Telling you stories about coffee and coffee people…

About

CoffeeMuseum is shown to you just like a physical museum – with permanent and temporary exhibitions – which wants to provide you with an online experience developed to feel coffee as never before, telling you stories about coffee and coffee people.

Sao Tome and Principe was the place chosen as the inspiration for the CoffeeMuseum’s very first collection. As a place where the massive production of coffee has been lost over the years, this collection was designed to create a memory, and provide an unprecedented link between past and present; shadow and light; art and nature; the discomfort of ruins and the comfort inherent to art – while engaging in an immersive web experience.

The truth is, the CoffeeMuseum is much more than that. It’s also a coffee ba1 (Japanese word that means “Place”): a shared place for emerging relationships and knowledge creation, without boundaries and completely dynamic. A “phenomenal” place where everyone is invited to interact, and create collective knowledge – that can emerge in individuals; working groups; project teams; informal circles; temporary meetings; email groups; and at the front-line contact with coffee consumers.

And, to generate a real ba and ensure its continuous transformation within the Coffeemuseum, we have created the coffeeism concept and the coffee ba.

The “coffeeism concept” is created here to raise coffee art to a status similar to cubism or surrealism. In fact, it wants “empower the consumer”, by sharing ideas, opinions, tastes, experiences, emotions and moments with coffee, through videos, images, articles, artwork, sketches and more.

Most of all, this innovation platform wants to show you “coffee” like you have never seen before, unlocking the “secrets” of trading, traditions, emotions and stories, and creating a new art vanguard.

Definitely, coffeemuseum.com is here to show you something new, by creating an extra layer of value across all coffee stakeholders, without competing with none.

Enjoy, learn, have fun and share.

1The concept of ba was originally proposed by the Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida and was further developed by Shimizu1. Ikujiro Nonoka and Noburo Konno2 adapted it to elaborate a knowledge creation model that is embedded in coffeemuseum.
